My first exercise in Alexander D'Lerma's "Cinema Gym," where film/TV directors workout their mental muscles by casting/rehearsing/shooting a two-actor scene each month.

Thanks to the wonderful comedic talents of Joanna and Maria, doing this scene was a blast!

One quick rehearsal, then I have an hour and fifteen minutes to shoot it! (plus a fun, improvised on-location scene discreetly shot with my iPhone)

Please forgive the lighting, etc. -- this is an exercise on directing performance only with very little attention paid to lighting/videography.

Enjoy!
